HE  Order  of  Cincinnatus,  composed  of  Merchants 
the  city  of  Cincinnati,  having  arranged  with  Messrs. 
Pain  &  Sons,  of  London  and  New  York,  for  the 
representation,  in  Cincinnati,  of  the  wonderful 
spectacle,  “The  Last  Days  of  Pompeii, ”  with  all 
the  remarkably  brilliant  and  realistic  effects,  which 
made  it  the  center  of  attraction  at  Manhattan  Beach, 
ew  York,  take  pleasure  in  announcing  the  opening 
*5r  night  on  August  24th,  and  continuing  thereafter  every  night, 

except  Sundays,  to  September  19th,  weather  permitting.  In  event 
of  a  postponement  tickets  will  be  good  the  next  clear  night. 

The  circumstantial,  but  fascinating  account  given  of  a  supposed 
scene  in  Pompeii,  on  that  fatal  day,  by  Lord  Lytton,  in  his  most 
charming  work,  “  The  Last  Days  of  Pompeii,”  is  the  groundwork 
upon  which  the  spectacle  is  fashioned,  and  the  characters  and  inci¬ 
dents  in  the  story  are  fairly  accurately  adhered  to  in  the  realistic 
rendition.  The  reader  may  obtain  a  clearer  conception  of  this  than

POMPEII 


n  INCE  1834,  when  the  late  Lord  Lytton,  then  Sir  Edward 
Bulwer  Lytton,  published  his  famous  novel,  “The  Last 
Days  of  Pompeii,”  so  extensive  have  been  the  discoveries 
made  among  the  ruins  of  the  buried  city  that  very  little 
of  what  he  then  wrote  remains  accurate.  The  excavations 
of  the  past  twenty  years  have  laid  bare  sufficient  to 
guarantee  the  assertion  that,  far  from  being  a  little 
country  seaside  town,  as  the  great  novelist  described  it 
to  have  been,  Pompeii  was  a  very  large  city  indeed,  with  possibly  over 
one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  inhabitants.  Even  Sir  William  Gell’s 
beautiful  work,  compiled  with  so  much  patience  and  personal  research,

holds  no  longer  its  position  as  an  infallible  guide.  In  1832,  about 
three  hundred  bodies  had  been  dug  out  of  the  ruins ;  to-day  the 
number  reaches  considerably  over  three  thousand. 

The  history  of  Pompeii  is  simple  enough.  Its 
building  is  generally  ascribed  to  the  Oscans,  and  its  name  is  derived 
from  the  Greek  u  Homiieta,”  or  “storehouses,”  indicating  its  com¬ 
mercial  origin.  It  is  known  to  have  been  a  city  of  some  importance 
five  hundred  years  before  Christ,  but  under  the  empire  it  seems  to  have 
become  a  kind  of  Brighton  of  the  epoch,  a  fashionable  summer  re¬ 
sort  and  watering  place.  Cicero  had  a  villa  in  its  suburbs,  in  which 
he  wrote  his  famous  “Offices”  and  entertained  as  guests  Augustus 
Caesar,  Balbus,  Hirtius  and  Pansa.  Claudius  took  refuge  here  from 
the  tyranny  of  Tiberius,  and  his  son  Drusus  died  within  the  walls  of 
Pompeii,  oddly  enough,  from  the  effects  of  swallowing,  the  wrong  way, 
a  pear  pip,  which  choked  him 

On  more  than  one  occasion  the  city  was  men¬ 
aced  by  destruction:  firstly,  a.  d.  63,  by  a  terrible  earthquake,  which 
Tacitus  tells  us  threw  down  half  the  place,  and  Seneca  adds,  killed 
over  “six  hundred  sheep,  and  deprived  hundreds  of  persons  of  their 
“reason.  So  great,  indeed,  was  the  terror,  that  many  persons  aban- 
“  doned  the  city  entirely”  In  the  course  of  the  same  year  there 
was  yet  another  earthquake,  which  was,  if  anything,  much  more  ter¬ 
rible  than  the  first,  and  traces  of  which  are  yet  discernible  among 
the  ruins  now  brought  to  light. 

The  first  eruption  of  Vesuvius  of  which  we  have 
authentic  record  occurred  in  the  year  a.  d.  79,  on  the  24th  day  of 
August,  late  in  the  afternoon.  It  is  memorable,  not  only  as  being  the 
one  which  destroyed  Pompeii  and  Herculan¬ 
eum,  and  caused  the  death  of  Pliny,  the 
naturalist,  but  also  as  having  Pliny,  the 
younger,  his  nephew,  as  its  historian. 

It  would  appear  from  the  two  let¬ 
ters  which  we  still  possess,  written 
the  younger  Pliny  to  Tacitus,  that, 

“toward  one  in  the  afternoon, 

“  his  mother  informed  his  uncle,

“  who  was  stationed  with  the  Roman  fleet  at  Misenum,  that  a  cloud 
u  appeared  of  unusual  size  and  shape.  It  was  not,  at  that  distance, 
u  discernible  from  what  mountain  it  arose,  but  it  was  found  afterward 
“that  it  was  from  Vesuvius.  I  can  not  give  a  more  exact  idea  of 
16  its  figure  than  by  describing  it  as  looking  for  the  world  like  a  pine 
“tree,  for  it  shot  up  a  great  height  in  the  form  of  a  trunk,  which 
“extended  itself  at  the  top  into  the  shape  of  branches,  occasioned.  I 
“imagine,  either  by  a  sudden  gust  of  air  which  impelled  it,  the  force 
“of  which  decreased  as  it  advanced  upward,  or  the  cloud  itself, 
“  being  pressed  back  again  by  its  own  weight,  expanded  in  this 
“manner.  It  appeared  sometimes  bright,  and  sometimes  dark  and 
“spotted,  as  it  became  more  or  less  impregnated  with  earth  and 
“cinders  This  was  a  surprising  phenomenon,  and  it  deserved,  in 
“the  opinion  of  that  learned  man,  to  be  inquired  into  more  exact-

“and  made  me  an  offer  to  accompany  him  if  I  pleased.  I  replied

“declined.  He  left  me  with  his  tablets  in  his  hand. 
“The  mariners  at  Retince  (the  modern  Remind),  being

“an  enterprise.  My  uncle,  however,  desirous  ot 
“giving  assistance  to  the  people  of  Resina  and 
“  of  other  neighboring  villages,  insisted  upon  sailing

“stones,  with  black  flints,  burnt  and  torn  up  by  the  flames, 

“  broke  in  upon  them ;  and  now  the  hasty  ebb  of  sea,  and  ruins  tumbling 
“  from  the  mountain,  hindered  their  near  approach  to  the  shore.  Paus- 
“  ing  a  little  upon  this,  whether  he  should  not  return  back,  and  instigat¬ 
ed  to  it  by  the  pilot,  he  cried  out,  ‘Fortune  assist  the  brave;  let  us 
‘  *  make  the  best  of  our  way  to  Pomponianus !  ’  who  was  then  at  Statia, 
“  where  he  perished  during  the  night,  in  a  vain  attempt  to  escape.” 

In  his  second  letter,  Pliny  describes  the  catastrophe  as  he 
himself  saw  it.  He  tells  us  that  there  had  been  many  shocks  of 
earthquake  before,  and  one  slight  one  in  the  morning.  From  this 
epistle  we  gather  that  the  first  warning  of  a  serious  nature  occurred 
at  Pompeii  at  about  four  in  the  afternoon.  All  throughout  the  even¬ 
ing  and  night,  long  scenes  of  unexampled  horror  took  place. 

“  Nothing  there  was  to  be  heard  but  the  shrieks  of  women 
“and  children;  the  cries  of  men;  some  calling  for  parents,  others 
“  for  husbands  and  wives,  others  upon  their  favorite  gods;  one  lament¬ 
ing  his  own  fate,  another  that  of  his  family;  some  wishing 

“to  die  from  the  very  fear  of  dying;  but  the  gre  (F  ater  part  imag-

“and  its  gods  together.  Meantime,  a  rain  of  fire  fell  around  us, 
“mixed  with  cinders  and  ashes,  which  we  were  obliged  now  and  then 
“  to  shake  off,  otherwise  we  should  have  been  crushed  and  buried  in

the  sight  which  greeted  the  eyes  of  the  great  naturalist’s  nephew  and

“urged  her  son  to  abandon  her  and  save  himself,”  but  which  he 
nobly  and  dutifully  refused  to  do,  was  extraordinary  indeed.  “  Every 
“object  which  presented  itself  to  our  eyes  seemed  changed,  being 
“covered  over  with  white  ashes,  like  a  deep  snow.  We  returned

“  still  continued,  while  several  foolish  persons  ran  up  and  down,

Pompeii,  was  destroyed  by 
a  kind  of  flow  of  liquid  lava, 


which,  pouring  itself  into  every  crevice, 
has  rendered  attempts  to  recover  the 
remains  almost  fruitless.  Pompeii,  how¬ 
ever,  was  buried  under  a  thick  coating  of 
ashes,  which  have  rather  preserved  than 
damaged  it ;  so  that,  as  a  rule,  the  houses  are 
unearthed  entire  and  pretty  nearly  in  their 
original  condition,  the  frescoes  fresh  as  if 
painted  but  yesterday,  and  even  articles 
of  food  are  found  just  where  they  were 
left  eighteen  hundred  years  ago.  From  certain 
indications,  it  seems  evident  that  during  the  first  four 
centuries  of  our  era  many  slight  excavations  were 
made,  possibly  with  a  view  of  unearthing  hidden  treasures,  and  that  even 
a  village  or  so  was  built  on  the  site  of  the  once  great  city;  but  in  472 
another  vigorous  eruption  destroyed  the  huts  and  so  scared  the  people 
that,  until  1748,  no  further  attempts  were  made  to  uncover  what  nature, 
in  one  of  her  freaks  of  temper,  had  so  artfully  concealed.  In  that 
year,  however,  a  peasant,  when  digging  a  well,  found  a  painted 
chamber  containing  statues  and  other  objects  of  interest.  King 
Charles  II,  of  Naples,  in  whom  the  discoveries  of  Herculaneum  had 
awakened  a  desire  for  further  explorations,  ordered  the  excavations  to 
be  continued.  In  1755,  the  Amphitheater  was  laid  bare,  and  since 
then  until  now,  and  notably  during  the  past  ten  years,  the  works  have 
gone  on  pretty  steadily. 

The  city  appears  to  have  been  built  quite  close 
to  the  sea,  which  has,  however,  since  receded  considerably.  The  spec¬ 
tator  will  notice  that  in  its  production  a  large  lake  of  water 
forms  the  foreground  of  the  imposing  picture  of  the  restored  city. 
Such  lakes  existed  and  communicated  with  the  sea  by  means  of 
canals,  so  that  the  imperial  galleys  and  other  important  vessels 
could  land  their  crews  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Forum  and  principal 
public  buildings.  The  monuments  of  Pompeii,  numerous  and  on

a  large  scale,  were  mostly  in  Greek 
architecture,  blended,  however,  with 
the  Roman.  We  have  now  almost 
in  perfect  condition,  several  of  the 
city  gates,  the  Forum,  the  Amphitheater,  many  temples,  public 
schools,  the  Basilica,  and  innumerable  dwelling  houses  and 
shops,  some  of  considerable  size,  the  Temple  of  Isis,  which 
stands  in  the  center  of  our  picture,  and  three  small  theaters  and 
two  triumphal  arches,  one  of  which  is  included  in  the  scenic  scheme 
which  we  present,  and  was  erected  to  commemorate  the  visit  of 
the  Emperor  Augustus  Csesar.  Recent  discoveries 
prove  that,  although  most  of  the  houses  in 
Pompeii  were  but  one  story  high, 
still  many  were  raised  even 
to  four  stories,  and  had  bal¬ 
conies.  The  roofs  were, 
however,  of  wood  covered 
with  red  tiles,  but  nearly  all 
have  disappeared — battered 
in,  being  very  flimsy,  by 
the  load  of  cinders  and 
ashes.  An  idea  of  the 
magnificent  dimensions  of 
some  of  the  public  build¬ 
ings  maybe  obtained 
from  the  fact  that  the  Am¬ 
phitheater  could  accom¬ 
modate  12,000  persons, 
the  theater  2,000,  the 
odeum  or  opera  house 
1,500.  The  Temple  of 
Venus  was  200  feet  in 
length,  that  of  Isis  150, 
and  that  of  Jupiter  180.

was  183  feet  long  by  142  wide,  and  surrounded 
by  a  portico  of  22  Doric  columns.  The  Greek 

Temple  of  Neptune,  the  most  ancient  building

turies,  we  see  in  confused  but  picturesque  groups  temples,  public 
baths,  halls  and  villas  lost  amid  orange  and  cypress  groves,  while 
high  above  all  is  the  fearful  mountain  still  the  admiration,  but  also 
secret  terror  of  Naples,  and  indeed  of  all  Southern  Europe.  Only 
the  other  day  its  smoke  suddenly  ceased  to  rise  high  up  in  the 
pure  ether  above. 

“Vesuvius  is  sleeping,”  the  people  said.  “Yes,”  answered 
others,  “but  beware  lest  he  has  a  nightmare;”  and  sure  enough,  one

; 


shaken  by  an  earthquake,  and  then  when 
it  was  utterly  destroyed,  Vesuvius  began  once  more 
to  smoke  quietly,  as  if  nothing  had  happened.  Scientists  still  think 
it  possible  that  Naples  herself  may  one  day  be,  if  not  desolated, 
at  least  terribly  injured  by  her  treacherous  but  most  picturesque 
neighbor.  Seen  from  which  side  you  will,  Vesuvius  is  beautiful — 
its  isolation,  its  conical  but  imposing  shape,  the  awful  traditions 
connected  with  its  history,  and  its  curl  of  graceful  smoke, 

sometimes  at  night  increased  by  vivid  flames  and  tor¬ 
rents  of  lava,  all  add  to  the  fascina¬ 

tion  which  it  has  exercised 
upon  the  imagination 
since  long  before  the 
time  of  Christ. 

Those  who  wish 
to  form  an  idea  of  the 
busy  life  of  ancient 
Pompeii  must  turn  to 
the  glowing  pages  of 
Lord  Lytton’s 
immortal  novel, 

“The  Last  Days 
of  Pompeii.”  But 
in  order  to  better 
understand  the 
beautiful  spec¬ 
tacle  which  we 
are  about  to  pro¬ 
duce,  it  will  be  well 
for  the  spectator 
to  imagine  that  as 
he  sits  facing  the 
gigantic  pano¬ 
rama  of  the  once  fair 
city  which  was  the 
chosen  residence  of

Pliny,  he  is  himself  an  ancient  Pompeiian  invited  to  witness  the 
festival  held  there  annually  in  honor  of  the  goddess  Isis,  whose 
temple,  as  already  said,  faces  him.  The  day  has  been  beautiful 
and  serene,  and  only  slight  clouds  of  smoke  rise  from  the  crater  of 
the  volcano.  Arbaces,  a  rich  Egyptian,  whose  house  in  the  archi¬ 
tecture  of  the  land  of  Isis  and  Cleopatra,  bathes  its  marble  steps  in 
the  water  to  the  right,  has  assumed,  by  reason  of  his  great  wealth, 
a  leading  and  most  influential  position  in  Pompeii,  and  has  chosen 
the  feast  day  of  the  great  Egyptian  goddess,  in  order  to  dazzle  not 
only  the  eyes  of  the  fair  Neapolitan  lone,  with  whom  he  is  desper¬ 
ately  in  love,  with  a  display  of  his  wealth  and  power,  but  also  those 
of  his  fellow  citizens. 

As  the  performance  begins,  the  streets  fill  up  with  ‘‘the  peo¬ 
ple,”  the  populace,  who  arrive  singly  and  in  groups  in  order  to  se¬ 
cure  seats  to  wit¬ 


ness  the  process¬ 
ions  and  festivities. 
Husbands  and 
wives  and  little 
children  mingle 
with  flower  girls, 
refreshment  ven¬ 
ders  and  priests, 
while  lads  and 
lassies  eagerly  press 
about  in  search  of 
places  which  com¬ 
mand  the  best 
views  of  the  pa¬ 
geant. 

Presently  a 
trumpet  is  heard,  and 
at  the  same  time 
small  flower¬ 
decked  barges  pass

across  the  ornamental  lake,  and  the  prows  of  the  galleys  make  their 
appearance  as  from  under  the  triumphal  arches  a  group  of  sol¬ 
diers,  with  standards  and  musical  instruments,  emerge,  and  an¬ 
nounce  the  coming  of  Arbaces.  The  soldiers  are  followed  by  a 
dozen  negro  slaves,  holding  up  inscriptions  and  bannerets  in  honor 
of  the  powerful  Egyptian.  Then  come  priests  in  white  robes, 
next  a  number  of  dancing  girls  and  a  senator  or  “  member  for 
Pompeii,”  with  his  attendants;  next  some  ladies,  and  lastly  a 
guard  of  honor,  two  and  two,  in  front  of  Arbaces,  who,  clad  in  pur¬ 
ple  and  gold,  walks  under  a  canopy.  This  procession  crosses  the 
stage  and  bows  to  the  officials  of  the  city,  who  sit  under  a  canopy 
to  the  right,  in  a  building  overlooking  the  water.  The  procession 
then  turns  to  the  left,  and  part  of  it,  including  Arbaces,  passes  down 
the  steps  to  .the  water’s  edge  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  galleys, 
which  now  enter  in  full  view.  They  advance  gradually,  and  from 
the  first  alight  soldiers  and  slaves,  from  the  second  lone  and  her 
affianced  bridegroom,  the  Greek  Glaucus.  Arbaces  receives  lone 
with  profound  obeisance,  but  barely  condescends  to  notice 
Glaucus,  thereby  indicating  his  jealousy  and  dislike.  The 
procession  reforms,  and  the  guests  take  positions  under  the 
portico  of  Arbaces’  house.  By  this  time  it  is  dark,  and  the 
beautiful  city,  with  its  villas  and  temples,  appears  brightly 
lighted  with  divers  kinds  of  lights  and  lamps.  Music  strikes  up, 
and,  upon  the  signal  of  a  blast  of  trumpets,  the 
doors  of  the  temple  of  Isis  are  thrown  open,  and 
the  temple’s  illuminated  interior

in  white  and  dark  blue  robes,  issue  solemnly  bearing  aloft  the 
golden  image  of  the  Egyptian  goddess,  which  they  place  in  the  cen¬ 
ter  of  the  stage.  All  kneel  for  a  moment,  and  then  the  dancing 
girls  begin  a  slow  movement,  and  Nydia,  the  blind  girl,  appears  and 
dances  gracefully.  Suddenly  Arbaces  cries  out,  tiIf  there  he  Chris¬ 
tians  present ,  and  known  to  any  of  you,  let  them  be  denounced  and  brought 
forward  to  adore  the  great  goddess  Isis.”  The  people  in  return  cry  out: 
a  Glaucus  is  a  Christian  ;  let  him  worship  the  goddess ,  or  death  be  unto  him  !  ” 
lone,  upon  hearing  these  cries,  and  knowing  her  affianced  hus¬ 
band  to  be  secretly  a  Christian,  rises  in  terror,  but  Glaucus  boldly  de¬ 
scends,  and,  sword  in  hand,  advances  toward  the  idol,  which  now'  ap¬ 
pears  to  glow  with  internal  fire.  Vesuvius  also  begins  to  show  signs  of 
an  approaching  eruption.  Glaucus  is  about  to  strike  fhe  goddess,  when 
the  blind  Nydia,  guessing  his  intention,  and  guided  by  his  voice,  pre¬ 
vents  him,  and  rushing  toward  the  goddess  her 
self  overthrows  the  tripod  which  stands  at  the 
idol’s  feet. 

All  rise  in  confusion,  the  earth  quakes,  the  dread 
mountain  vomits  forth  flames  and  clouds  of  smoke ; 
the  temple  columns  totter,  the  people,  forgetting 
Isis  and  her  priests,  remember  only  their  danger. 


— 


Glaucus  seizes  lone,  and  with  Nydia  clinging  to  them,  they  manage 
to  enter  a  boat,  and  are  seen,  amid  the  flashes  of  lightning  and  the 
glow  from  the  torrents  of  flaming  lava,  escaping  across  the  water 
from  the  doomed  city.  Arbaces  is  killed  by  a  falling  column,  while 
the  people,  screaming  and  shouting  for  aid,  rush  in  wild  confusion 
in  every  direction,  realizing  Lord  Lytton’s  magnificent  and  graphic 
description  of  the  appalling  catastrophe. 

‘‘The  sudden  illumination,  the  bursts  of  the  floods  of  lava,  and 
“the  earthquake,  which  we  have  already  described,  chanced  when 
“  Sallust  and  his  party  had  just  gained  the  direct  path 
“leading  from  the  city  to  the  port;  and  here  they  were 
“  arrested  by  an  immense  crowd,  more  than  half  the  pop- 
“  ulation  of  the  city.  They  spread  along  the  field  without 
“the  walls,  thousands  upon  thousands  uncertain  whither 
“  to  fly.  The  sea  had  retired  far  from  the  shore ;  and 
‘  they  who  had  fled  to  it  had  been  so  terrified  by  the  agita- 
‘  tion  and  preternatural  shrinking  of  the  element,  the  gasp- 
‘  ing  forms  of  the  uncouth  sea  things  which  the  waves 
‘  had  left  upon  the  sand,  and  by  the  sound  of  the  huge 
‘  stones  cast  from  the  mountain  into  the  deep,  that  they 
“had  returned  again  to  the  land,  as  presenting  the 
4  less  frightful  aspect  of  the  two.  Thus  the  two  streams 
“of  human  beings,  the  one  seaward,  the  other  from  the 
“sea,  had  met  together,  feeling  a  sad  comfort  in  num¬ 
bers  arrested  in  despair  and  doubt.  ‘The  world  is 
‘  to  be  destroyed  by  fire,’  said  an  old  man  in  long,  loose 
‘robes,  a  philosopher  of  the  Stoic  school.  ‘Stoic  and

“Epicurean  wisdom  have  alike  agreed  in  this  prediction;  and  the 
“hour  is  come!’  As  he  spake,  there  came  that  sudden  illumination 
“which  had  heralded  the  death  of  Arbaces,  and  glowing  over  that 
“mighty  multitude,  awed,  crouching  breathless— never  on  earth  had 
“  the  faces  of  men  seemed  so  haggard  ! — never  had  meeting  of  mortal 
“beings  been  so  stamped  with  the  horror  and  sublimity  of  dread! — 
“never,  till  the  last  trumpet  sounds,  shall  such  meeting  be  seen  again  ! 
“And  above  rose  the  form  of  Olinthus,  with  outstretched  arm  and 
“prophet  brow,  girt  with  the  living  fires.  And  the  crowd  knew  the 
“face  of  him  they  had  doomed  to  the  fangs  of  the  beast  then  their 
“victim,  noiv  their  warner;  and  through  the  stillness  again  came  his 
“  ominous  voice — ‘The  hour  is  come  !  ’  The  Christian  repeated  the  cry. 
“It  was  caught  up— it  was  echoed  from  side  to  side — women  and  men, 
“childhood  and  old  age
